Anyone use an extension for the paddles? I find myself doing some stupid things with my hands trying to shift while turning the wheel at times. Wondering if anyone makes something to make them a little longer, if anyone uses them etc.. Thoughts appreciated.

You can go two ways, if you want the larger paddles.

1. Buy ones that attach by tape to the existing paddles (Amazon, Receseng, etc...), or

2. remove the stock paddles and replace them with one piece paddles from JCR or Agency Power.

Can't speak to either, since I have no issues with the stock shifters and anything larger would be purely cosmetic, IMO.

Man those JCR’s look really nice ... how difficult are they to install yourself?

Johnny Five

Install is easy. Push a couple of clips to remove airbag, unclip a few wiring harnesses, remove wheel bolt and wheel, remove back cover from wheel, unclip and remove shift paddle assembly, remove pin holding old paddle in place, reinstall in backwards order with new paddle.

Don’t mess with the airbag until you’ve disconnected the car battery. Disclaimer: I will not be sued.

Why? The paddles are attached to the steering wheel, so they are always where your hands should be.
Plus, who shifts in the middle of a corner?

Now, if it's for cosmesis, then OK.

Because if you hold the wheel at 10 and 2 you need ET Phone Home fingers to reach the stock paddles without regripping.

I'm 5'8, so my hands are not huge and I think the extensions will help me for street driving where I am not winding the engine out to 8K in town etc.. I suppose I could keep it in D mode, but I like to work the gears. Johnny's visual of ET fingers is spot on!

Does JCR make CF ones??

Seth Thomas

I was just about to add that to your instructions. Great catch!

Johnny Five

I have huge hands and I can’t reach the stock paddles from 10 and 2.

Johnny Five

Yes
